My Take: MINI Cooper, how I love thee! This is one ride I hope keeps leasing well forever. This is probably the one and only ride that keeps its value so well, any money factor still makes this ride a good deal. The residual dropped .0001 from last month. Not astronomical, but it only makes the lease cheaper. So if you leased the MINI last month, don’t feel bad, it isn’t that much different this month, just about 20 bucks on a 36-month lease. Remember to watch out for your addon options. Get too carried away and you’ll be paying more than $400 a month for one these puppies.

DO NOT LEASE
Nope, none here, I can’t recommend this ride enough if it fits your needs. The only thing you should watch out for is the “padded” money factors the dealers like to quote.
